So, I was wondering where was the obligatory iron vein.

Seems like I'm being unlucky. :D

I decided that for each of my random draws I'll use different methods: 'names in the hat', the random function in excel, 'head or tails', etc...

This will be fun! :)

Just preordered my copy. What's the next step to access the non-demo version?

Edit: I just received my account informations, but the mail was in the spam bin...

I'll do my random draws randomly during the days which concern me. But it'll usually take place in the evening (GMT).

ummm okey.
can anybody think of any reason why anyone/i should use Wall of Fire/frost/lightining, Incirinate/Thunderstrike/Ice Spear spells? they seem so.... forced, if you know what i mean.
Its kind a disapoiniting to reach 75+ level in destruction just to continiue useing Fireball/Chain Lightining.
Why wouldn't you use Incinerate, Thunderbolt or Ice Spear? They hit hard, especially dual cast. The wall spells are semi-useful though they don't do enough damage unless you can get an enemy to stand on them.

In my pure mage game I use thunderbolt as my main damage spell backed up by a pair of summoned dremora lords. I'm level 48 on master and shit is tough.
There's one obvious and quite bad reason to only use the first spells: the 'damage per mana spent' ratio (which actually is the DPS). The last spells have some nice collateral effects, but I don't know if these effects can offset their bad DPS.

@webadict
The new IndieRoyale Bundle is out, so I now can add an Eufloria to this giveaway. And the Humble Introversion Bundle have been upgraded, with an added Dungeons of Dredmor, which means my Crayon Physics Deluxe & Aquaria giveaway now comprised Dungeons of Dredmor.

Just awesome! 8)

Guys!!!! hiper warning!!! dont know if its well know but w/e

do NOT finish a dragon with a electricity based spells if you have Disintegretion perk!!! Dragon turns into pile of ash but you dont absorb its soul!!!
You CAN absorb its soul, but you need to stay near the ash pile after the kill. I rarely couldn't absorb a dragon's soul, but I can't say if it was caused by this perk or not.

I must say that I find the Disintegration perk useless and boring (and buggy in some cases, like for the dragons). I should find a way to deactivate it.

Speaking of dragons, I met just yesterday my 2nd dead dragon falling directly on the ground near me. And it was inside Riften! Free soul!
And one week ago I also met a weird dual-dragon bug: I was fighting two dragons (???), and one of them became skeletal (no skin visible, but it still kept its 'normal' name) whereas the other became half-transparent. Really weird, but kinda awesome.

I got the same idea, kinseti : to give all the indies I got in the bundles and currently not activated. But I'll do it later. Maybe we (I?) should organize a mega-B12 giveaway for Christmas. :D

I was bored with my lvl 41 leader of the dark brotherhood(and unrelenting one shot-one kill machine) so I gave a mage a try.
I'm of course not speaking of those silly armored mage, why would a mage have armor, he has the powers of the UNIVERSE AT HIS FEET!(yes I'm a megalomaniac mage :p).
And damn, that first dragon kicked my ass, I had to do it 3 times before I finally finished him off(in normal difficulty) >.<.

[...]

I've done almost the exact same thing recently, having started with a now 40ish DB/Thieves Guild/bow sneaky character. Mages feel like they could use some loving; either you wear heavy armor and have to train yet another skill, or you wear none and have to rely on your low starting magicka and the occasional staff drop, if you're lucky. I'm glad I am specializing heavily in Alchemy.

On a side note, Destruction talents give your staff more kick depending on the element being used. Also, the more advanced your Destruction skill, the less charge it takes when used. Nice touch, at least. But I don't like not regenerating magicka when using my shitty streaming ice or fire staff.
I'm doing the same thing, but on the other side. Yesterday I finally reached 100 with my destruction skill, so I joined the Legion and changed all my oufit, from a robe and no weapon to a one-handed weapon and light armor. Fun ensued, as now I'm not able to finish the first Legion's quest. :D
It's like starting the game again, but with more powerful foes compared to a new game.

Other Games / Re: Discussion on TES V: Skyrim - IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD!
« on: November 11, 2011, 06:06:04 am »
After my first hours in the game I can say that's it's far better than Oblivion. But I can't say now if I find it better than Morrowind, which is still my reference.

The gameplay is a lot like Oblivion, but dual-wielding (spells and/or weapons) makes it feel new. From what I've seen levelled contents exist but are nicely included in the game (think FNV). Lockpicking is directly taken from Fallout3, which in itself is not a bad thing. The dungeons are just awesome. Even a basic one is just epic. Interface is clumsy, like all Bethesda games. But it's far from being unplayable.

So, buy it and play it, that's my only advice. You won't regret it. :)
